(In an Unknown Place)
"So you're telling me that we can't see his stats, nor can we remove the gloves on his hands?"
A handsome middle aged man in a white suit who was seated on a chair spoke as he looked at a translucent screen that was hovering on top of a watch on his right wrist.
The translucent screen was divided into two sections. One side of the section had letters, symbols and numbers, while on the other side was a rotating picture of Corey.
"Yes sir. We suspect that he has an item that can hide his stats. Not only that, the appraisers suspect the gloves to be a growth type item."I
In front of the man in white suit was a kneeling middle aged man in a black armor who spoke.
The man in white suit glanced at the middle aged man in black armor and with his head resting on his left fist, he spoke:
"It's not the first time that something like this has happened.
So tell me what the real problem is."
With his head still bowed low, the man in armor replied:
"The problem is that, no matter how hard we searched for the item which hides his stats, we can't find it on his body.
We've even performed an internal scan on his body but we still can't find it."
"Hmm… That is something… new."
The brows of the man in white suit furrowed slightly and he spoke with a slightly surprised tone.
He stroked his chin for a few seconds with his left hand and his eyes moved towards the image of Corey on the translucent screen.
"Don't worry too much about it. He's still a tier 0 human and there's no saying if he would be able to survive here.
Weaklings can never survive in the Underworld."
The man spoke with an indifferent tone, then he looked at the kneeling man in armor and spoke:
"Were you able to remove everything he had in his inventory?"
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Yes we removed everything in his inventory, though he didn't really have anything that was significant or interesting.
He also had two rings on his right hand, but one was just a normal ring and the other was called the Cursed Dryad's Ring, we removed the Cursed Dryad's Ring and left the other ring since it was just a normal ring."
The kneeling man in armor spoke with a deep voice and the man in white suit raised an eyebrow.
"You're sure that ring isn't the item that's concealing his status window?
And you're also sure it's just a normal item?"
The man in white suit asked calmly and the man in armor nodded slightly.
"It isn't Sir.
We removed the ring and even isolated it, but we still could not see his stats.
Even the best appraisals couldn't find anything special about the ring. They said it's just a normal ring."
The man in armor replied with a drop of sweat falling unto the floor.
"Hmm… Since he's just tier 0, I guess there's no cause for alarm.
But just know that if you were wrong and that ring is actually a treasure and causes damage or harm to the Underworld… You're dead."
With a calm, indifferent tone and expression, the man in white suit spoke and the man in armor trembled slightly.
"Yes Sir."
He replied and the man in white suit waved his hand softly.
"You may leave."
He said and the man in armor stood, bowed and without saying a single word, he left.
The man in white suit looked at the back of the man in black armor, then his eyes moved towards the image of Corey.
"If he causes any waves in the Underworld, I guess I'll just have to watch him the more…
That is, if he even survives at the beginning of the Underworld."
The man in white suit spoke softly and with a tap on the wrist watch, the translucent screen disappeared.

"Wake up you cunt."
A cold and deep voice filled with disdain, mockery, amusement and excitement rang out into the ears of an unconscious Corey who was on a black floor that was stained with blood on various parts.
"I said wake up you cunt!"
Splash
The voice rang out once again, but this time, his voice had a pinch of annoyance and anger in it.
Meanwhile Corey who was at first unconscious, immediately became conscious when a bucket filled with a smelly dark liquid was poured unto his face.
Cough Cough
He coughed violently due to the vile smell that entered his nose and throat.
"Oh, now you're awake."
The voice rang out once again and Corey with a confused and disgusted expression looked at the source of the voice.
And when he did, he saw a bald huge man with a long scar on his right cheek, one permanently closed eye and a sadistic grin on his face.
"Why do the newbies always want to bath with animal urine before they wake up."
The bald man spoke once again, but this time, he turned to his right and when Corey looked, he noticed an tall lean man without a nose a few meters away from the bald man.
"Stop wasting my time and take him to the arena."
The tall lean noselese man spoke with a voice that was extremely soft.
"Sure, sure."
The bald man shrugged then turned towards Corey with a sadistic grin.
He walked towards Corey and when Corey tried to move, he realized he could not move.
He looked at his hands and feet, and when he did, he noticed shackles and chains on his wrists and ankles.
"Let's go cunt."
With the same sadistic grin, the bald man spoke and with a soft chuckle, he pulled Corey up then pushed him to the front.
"Walk cunt."
The bald man spoke and when Corey looked at the front, he noticed a huge black gate some meters away from him.
Slap!
"I said walk cunt."
With a hard slap to the back of Corey's head, the bald man spoke with a threatening growl.
Corey glanced at him with a calm expression for a few seconds and just as he did, the bald man spoke:
"What are you looking at?
Are you deaf? I said move cunt."
Without an ounce of emotion on his face and without saying anything, Corey turned and walked forward with the uncomfortable shackles and chains on his wrists and ankles.
Just as Corey got closer to the gate, he heard loud sounds and he felt the floor beneath his feet tremble slightly.
His brows furrowed slightly and a few seconds later, he reached the black gates, making him to hear the sound much more clearly.
'That sounds like… drums?
"Alright cunt, make sure you last long enough for the entertainment."
Just as Corey had that thought, the bald man spoke and with a rough yank by Corey's shoulders, he turned Corey towards him and brought out a key from out of nowhere.
He brought the key closer to the shackles and just as he did, a keyhole appeared on the shackles.
A few seconds later, the shackles and chains fell off from Corey's wrists and ankles, giving him freedom.
Corey rubbed his sore wrists and looked at the two men with a calm expression.
'Record'
He activated Record and his left eyes changed rapidly and three seconds later, his eyes changed back to normal.
'They're both tier 2.'
Corey thought and just as he had this thought, the bald man spoke with a tone filled with frustration.
"Do you want to do something stupid cunt?"
Hearing the words spoken by the bald man, Corey ignored him and with a calm and indifferent expression, Corey walked towards the gate much to the bald man's displeasure.
He harrumphed and the tall lean man walked to the wall on his left and placed his hand on the wall.
The moment he did, the gates were pulled up, bringing light into the slightly dark tunnel he was in.
The moment the gates were fully opened up, extremely loud sounds exploded into Corey's ears causing him to squint his eyes.
BAM!
BOOM!
BAM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BAM!
BAM!
BOOM!
BAM!
"ARE YOU READY PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST MATCH OF THE DAY PEOPLEEEE?!!"
"YAAAAAAAA!!!"
"THEN WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!!

BAM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BAM!
